The Ethiopian Cetus, better known as simply "Cetus", is a large species of sperm whale native to Greece, identified by a blue skin color.  They've been known to ram into ships when not paying attention.  Unusual among other members of their family, Cetuses have sharp shark-like teeth.

While "Cetus" as a genus is considered invalid, and synonymous with "Physeter", there has been some debate about reinstating it as a genus exclusively for this species.

It's not a shark! It's a whale! It says so in the description!

No problem. This guy doesn't have a shark fin, or gills though.

And sharks don't have blowholes. Regardless, a Cetus could eat you quite easily.
